RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red Light and Infrared Light Therapy on Long Island and in Brooklyn
Light Therapy at Panetta
Red light and infrared light therapy is one of the tools our physical therapists use alongside hands-on care and exercise. At Panetta Physical Therapy we use Neurocare light therapy, which delivers both red and near-infrared light, as part of your treatment plan. It is available at all four of our clinics in Ronkonkoma, Bay Shore, Roslyn and Greenpoint, and because it is part of your physical therapy care, it is covered the same way your therapy visits are.
How Light Therapy Fits Into Your Care
An evaluation first
Your physical therapist decides whether light therapy makes sense for your condition and goals.
Used during your visit
Light therapy sessions are added to your regular physical therapy appointments.
Paired with exercise and hands-on care
Strength, balance and mobility work are still the foundation of your recovery.
Progress tracked over time
We measure changes in pain, sensation, balance and function and adjust your plan.
Covered with your therapy
Because it is part of your physical therapy care, you do not pay a separate cash fee for it.
Who It Can Help
- People with peripheral neuropathy: numbness, tingling or burning in the feet or hands
- Patients with ongoing joint or muscle pain who are also doing therapy exercise
- People recovering from injuries or surgery, as part of a full rehab plan
- Patients looking for a drug-free addition to their treatment
How It Works
Red and near-infrared light (also called photobiomodulation) passes through the skin into the tissue underneath. Research suggests it can support circulation and the body’s natural repair processes and may help reduce pain for some conditions. Results vary from person to person, which is why we use it as one part of a plan, not on its own.
Is Light Therapy Right for You?
A Good Fit If
Light therapy may be a good fit if you have neuropathy symptoms, or pain that has not fully responded to other treatment, and you are ready to pair it with an active therapy plan.
Tell Your Therapist If
You are pregnant, have a history of cancer in the treatment area, have a light-sensitive condition or take medications that increase light sensitivity.
